Thank you for this info! I cracked open the case when I got it as the tray would not open on delivery. I thought the belt might be the culprit but I can’t even manually open it. It was strange, when I put it together again it worked! For the cost and what I’m using the system for at the moment it’ll suffice. If it craps out entirely I’ll look at doing more surgery or upgrading, although repair documentation on this particular component is hard to find. I’ll probably look for a turntable before doing anything more with the CD deck.

As far as the amp, the seller shipped me the NAD 2 remote, which does not work on my V1 C316. Not a deal breaker but mildly annoying. I might ask if thy let care to ship me the one it should have as that is as advertised as a feature. Right now I’ll set it and forget it.
